BELA PIOCZA MEMORIAL GAME

Thank you to our board members and community members who came together to organize the memorial game in honour of Bela Piocza.

Thank you to all of our community members who came out to honour Bela and his contributions to our community. The evening was a great success!

Together, we were able to raise $7436.75. Also, thank you to Vancouver Falcons for their generous donation of $1200 to the Piocza family. All proceeds raised will be going directly to the family.

We could not have supported the Piocza family without the generosity and support from our Ridge Meadows community! THANK YOU!!
